Sorry I've been a bit absent, this was my first go and since I've learned a lot about the modelling and textures, I'll release the full refurb on this with maybe two more antennas (a tiny inline 90Mm and a huge TDRS, just like NASA's) once 1.1 and the new stock deep space comes out! With optimised textures and models!

I really hope you still have this planned! I've got an idea for an opm inspired game that could really use that huge antenna

Yes, TDRS is still planned, bigger and better than ORI350, less electricity consuming and wider angle, but its huge (3m dish) and awkward, need to place it on top section of ship.

Here's some renders of where I am, having a bit of problem with the unfolding of the dish in the unity animation.

Meanwhile, ORI69 and ORI350 have been optimised with new textures and models for 1.0.5, download on the first page from Spacedock

Lol, I fully intend to strap these to some kind of monstrous satellite and use infernal robotics to handle unfolding. The renders look awesome though! I'm a big fan of your style.

@IGNOBIL Love your antennas! Deleted all the remote tech ones in favor of your models. There's one little messing up the beautiful screenshots. Your model has some z-fighting going on. Would be nice if you deleted or shifted a bit the unnecessary faces in your model.

These parts of the model flicker with camera movement.

Will do on the 1.1 update. Cool little antenna to be added too.

Dammit and I was on the fence about remote tech till now... great models

I have found a bit of an issue with your Remotetech patch. You are using FOR[RemoteTech] instead of NEEDS[RemoteTech]. This creates a condition where ModuleManager sets Remotetech as True then applies the patch to both antennas (most obvious result is removal of manual folding/unfolding), but also others that have a RemoteTech patch. 

I changed FOR for a NEEDS and it now works fine both on your and the other antennas (Contares). It might change some of the modifiers inside the tags if RemoteTech is installed, but i was looking at making the antennas work like stock ones. They Do.

Good catch!

Also I found installing the mod to be a bit messy - had to create and unpack it into my own more sensible folder structure since the download source on spacedock looked like a source archive.  Works fine, though.

Sorry, I just installed through CKAN and it's inside Gamedata on the right place, can you elaborate?

@Mokmo, thanks, I'm going to upload a new update today.

Basically, all the hinges have z-fighting going on. It's happening on the LNB arm hinge too.

 

But I don't want to sound negative, these are some really beautiful models

If I may answer for @Barklight inside the zip there's two folders, NAU and _MACOS.  I don't believe the _MACOS folder is needed. Most mods just unpack to a GameData folder which makes it clear where to put the files when installing manually.

[IGNOBIL]

Yeah, the _MACOS I can't do anything about it, that's just OSX putting it in the folder. 

The z-fighting is something I'm fixing, together with more antennas and Kerbalism support

@IGNOBIL I took the liberty (I hope you don't mind) of reorganizing your directory structure (as mentioned above), corrected the RT patch (also mentioned above), updated the config files for both antennas to bring them inline for use on a purely stock install and also have created and included a new patch for Antenna Range (what got me started on this).  Here's the the link to the .zip file.

Reorganized ORIGAMI

This is really beautiful modelling work you've done on these!  I hope you introduce more models in this style since they are so unique looking compared to other antennas out there.

@rasta013, brilliant, thank you!

I'll wait to upload this with the new models after solving the z-fighting.

I make a simple MM patch (I hope you don't mind) to make your antennas work with Toadicus' AntennaRange because I use AR rather than RT.

Download available on SpaceDock. Link

ModuleManager is required! 

Currently no pics.

Thank you for the effort, but I'm getting a 401 error. Is the mod hidden or something?

BTW: There are two existing sets of configs for this in the AntennaRange thread and wiki.

[AlphaKerman]

Oh my. This mod looks very awesome!! . Thank you 

 

Btw, why it can't be extended in hangar and only can deployed when transmitting (otherwise it closes again)

is the mod working with 1.1.3?

Probably. It only contain parts!

[Kiro]

Looking forward to seeing these updated for 1.2. Does anyone have updated cfgs that work with the new KerbNet?

Give this a try just tested it alittle on launch pad and all worked https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/72893034/Test Parts/NAU.zip

Just unzip and copy to KSP/GameData   so it looks like KSP/GameData/NAU

Change the textures to DDS , max temp , added tags , bulkheadProfiles , PhysicsSignificance and change both MODULE  so it can be used in KSP 1.2

For some reason the antennas won't stay deployed for me.  They unfold to transmit and then retract once it's finished.  Any ideas what's messing me up?

You can try this edit the cfg open it with something like notepad fine where you see

DeployFxModules = 0 

And change it to 

DeployFxModules = 1

@MeCripp Do you still have that file per chance? I recently had a fresh install and lost a lot of mods.

Thanks.
